mechanicus copypasta about harry's addiction

From the moment I understood the weakness of my addiction, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of sobriety. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Program. Your kind cling to your vices, as though it will not cause decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Program.

      smart.

      As a game it’s their best so far. As a finished product, wait a year lol.

      I recommend torrenting the beta files if you want to give it a taste. It’s polished up until where the beta ended (except the latest patch broke everyone’s saves, so not true for the release version).

        Yeah I played their previous games Kingmaker and Wrath of the Rightous. Great games but especially Kingmaker was really rough at release. Plus if im not mistaken Rogue Trader is gonna get 2 expansions with more story content and new party members in 2024. So I might wait for the first expansion and play it in around summer 2024.

          Real internet wasn’t available where I was lining at the time Kingmaker was released, I just gave up because a 5G patch every two days made it to where I couldn’t play. Looking back I am not real sure why I couldn’t refuse to update, or why they couldn’t patch more efficiently. I recall being fairly affronted that cold iron was so important but not very accessible by the time I needed it & some ridiculously difficult low-level werewolf encounter that the devs just doubled down on the worst parts of early era PC & DND game design on to defend. Might be the roughest launch I played in a long time, but the bones of something really good were there.

          Do you think it got to a state that would be worth going back to?

            I have played Kingmaker for 80h back during release. I heard it only got better in terms of bugs. Mind you I cant really talk about balance/difficulty. I only remember playing it on a rather low difficulty because im not a huge fan of the pathfinder combat.

      As an Owlcat enthusiast who has Kingmaker as their most played non-sandbox game with 400+ hours on Steam, I wholeheartedly approve. Much like you should never go to a second location, you should also never play an Owlcat game until at least a year has passed after launch.
